Jurassic Coast Beaches – Posts about Lyme Regis

Lyme Regis in Dorset on the Jurassic Coast is a beautiful and slightly old-fashioned seaside town with fantastic beaches and fascinating geological history. Even the most casual visitor cannot fail to be impressed by what this small town has to offer (the recently renovated museum, gallery, shops, cafes and restaurants), by the spectacular seafront views, and the wonderful rocks, fossils, and seashore life. I love visiting Lyme Regis, the promenade, the Cobb, Monmouth Beach, Old Church Cliffs, and the Spittles. Here are links to some of the posts that I have written about Lyme over the years. Enjoy.

I read a lot of books set in Great Britain and the town’s name is familiar to me but I had no visual of it. These photos are stunning. The patterns of nature that you captured. I marvel at your ability to see and catch the beauty and the science together in these images.

Thank you, Claudia. You are always so generous with your comments. You might know the name Lyme Regis from a book like “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” which is a 1969 postmodern historical fiction novel by John Fowles. They made a film of it starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons. The town itself is interesting with lots of lovely buildings, nooks and crannies. Maybe I will post some non-nature pictures on my other site some time to show you what a beautiful place it is. In hot sunny weather such as we are experiencing at the moment in England, there are many visitors and everything looks busy, bright, and colourful. I have had some very happy moments there.

Yes, I have read the “French Lieutenant’s Woman”, and now I remember, but I am thinking something crime. And Jane Austen. Not at the same time or the same book! Well, doesn’t matter, I’d love to see any photos of it you’ve taken. It sounds like a person could have a lot of interesting things happen to them there (forgive that grammar wreck). Lots of scope for almost anything, in a setting like that.
